CloseThe spring attempts to reach a target angle by adding spring and damping forces.
The /spring.spring/ force attempts to reach the target angle. A larger value makes the spring reach the target position faster.
The /spring.damper/ force dampens the angular velocity. A larger value makes the spring reach the goal slower.The spring reaches for the /spring.targetPosition/ angle in degrees relative to the rest angle. The rest angle between the bodies is always zero at the beginning of the simulation.// Make the spring reach shoot for a 70 degree angle. // This could be used to fire off a catapult. hingeJoint.spring.spring = 10; hingeJoint.spring.damper = 3; hingeJoint.spring.targetPosition = 70;
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { void Example() { hingeJoint.spring.spring = 10; hingeJoint.spring.damper = 3; hingeJoint.spring.targetPosition = 70; } }
import UnityEngine import System.Collections public class ExampleClass(MonoBehaviour): def Example() as void: hingeJoint.spring.spring = 10 hingeJoint.spring.damper = 3 hingeJoint.spring.targetPosition = 70
Modifying the spring automatically enables it.
